S74 DFA Bounties #2 - The Present

![]() IIHF Federation Head IIHF GM
Swedish wonder Jim Wieners is expected to go in the first round of the upcoming SMJHL draft. While his original scouting profile suggested a speedy, high skill winger with a tendency to flash puckhandling and playmaking skills, recently he has looked more the part of a power forward type player. Because of this recent development, it is difficult to exactly say what his role would be on a SMJHL team. Could he be a top line winger with a knack for power play production? Could be be a checking line power forward who specializes in forechecking and forcing turnovers? His versatile skillset makes it difficult to predict what exactly he could be at the junior level, it's a good problem to have for any potential general managers. This versatility is poised to allow to form easy chemistry with linemates, it'll be easy for coaches and managers to move him up and down the lineup as needed. Despite a focus on offense, his defense is not far behind at all. He's a very defensively responsible player, extremely good at checking and pressuring opponents into making mistakes, and then letting his skill take over and capitalizing on those mistakes. Mr Wieners can play center, he can play wing, he can play a physical game, he can play a skill game, he can play a shutdown game, he can do anything he's asked to do. And he will take care of all responsibilities given to him while bringing a great presence into the locker room.
